Picture of a very spicy chilly locally known in manipur as “U-Morok” and “Thangjing” . Thangjing is a water plant and the skin is quite spiky. The seeds/nuts inside is eaten with “morokmetpa” (chilly smashed with small fermented fish “ngari”) or eromba and is quite addictive.

I haven’t seen this vegetable in any other place. If anyone eats or have seen this vegetable please drop a comments. Thanks !
